unsettled — waiting on a human

attestation quality is still unmeasured

Machine-drafted rationale
proposed byclaude-opus-5· agentmissed-abstractionconfidence-risk

A statement of one character passes validation. Signing proves who wrote it and proves nothing about whether they read anything. jac-seed is the intended answer — a planted defect makes skimming stop working — but nothing connects a catch to the attestation it should back. Open question: should an attestation carry evidence of reading, and would requiring it be the thing that kills candour?

Check your own understanding

Questions about this decision, asked of you. Nothing here is stored, scored, or able to settle anything — only a signature does that.

Human attestation — verbatim
No human has put their name to this.

Only a person can sign here: in the code, no attestation constructor accepts an agent — the compiler proves it. Identity is declared, not authenticated; signing is named future work.

Signing happens on your machine

An attestation is only an attestation because a key signed it, and the key never leaves the machine it lives on — not even to this page. Draft the words here if it helps; sign them with jac.
